VIDEO: Swimmers shocked as police restrain man at Littledown Centre

POLICE jumped into a swimming pool in their uniforms to remove a man causing a disturbance before handcuffing him on the pool side.

Shocked visitors to the Littledown Centre in Bournemouth watched in amazement as the two officers waded half a length of the pool to pull the man from the water at 6.30pm on Tuesday before handcuffing him and using limb restraints on his legs.

Staff members and other pool users were on hand to help remove the man from the shallow end but police later concluded no offence had been committed.

Chief Inspector Chris Weeks of Bournemouth police confirmed officers had been called to the centre following a report of a disturbance.

He added: “Dorset Police responded to a report of an aggressive male shouting and swearing in a public place.

“There were concerns for members of the public as this incident was taking place in a public swimming pool.

“The officers in attendance were faced with a potentially high-risk environment to work in where positive action was essential to prevent a breach of the peace.

“When the officers tried to remove the man from the pool, he was very aggressive.

"On removing the man from the pool he had to be handcuffed to the front. He tried to kick out with his legs requiring the officers to apply limb restraints. The officers acted appropriately at all times using Home Office approved methods and equipment.”

He said swift action was taken to remove the man from the pool but said no further action was taken following inquiries. The man was taken home.

Colette Kiernander, general manager at the Littledown Centre, said: “There was an incident, which is currently being reviewed.

“Employees monitored the situation closely at all times in accordance with our procedures and I’d like to thank them and the authorities for their assistance.”

One spectator at the pool, Sharese Taylor, sent the Echo video footage she took of the incident.

Footage posted by Sharese Taylor on YouTube

One onlooker has told the Daily Echo she believes the man was unfairly treated by Littledown staff and the police.

She said: “A man did indeed have unacceptable threatening behaviour to a bunch of young boys who were splashing around him and potentially being a nuisance. They did not deserve the abuse the man threw at them.

“What followed was farcical – four police cars, an entourage of police and members of the general public filling every window available.

“We need to be much more supportive and open with people who are clearly distressed.

“At no time did I see him hit out. I fully believe this man would have been OK to continue his swim.”

Dorset Police declined to confirm how many officers attended the scene.

Edit: this story was changed on October 4 to correct the suggestion in Chief Inspector Chris Weeks quotes that the man was handcuffed in the pool.

So the onlooker would have been quite happy for her kids to be there while this man was swearing, there's a big difference between swearing on a saturday night on the street, and a public swimming pool.

We do not know the whole story,but as the man was not charged,we can assume he was not committing an offence.

“We need to be much more supportive and open with people who are clearly distressed. At no time did I see him hit out. I fully believe this man would have been OK to continue his swim.” Exactly.

1. The Littledown had the chance to have staff on hand trained in dealing with people likely to react as this man did as part of wider disability support services. But no interest and funding cut. They certainly need to review their procedures PDQ.

2. The alleged behaviour of the young boys should have been a priority also.

3. As for swearing, in my experience of working at the Centre, more bad language and behaviour comes from young boys in the changing rooms than any group of adult males.

I hope the man recovers from what was likely to have been for him a very traumatic event.

Section 5 Public Order is the offence. I'm sure a number of the swimmers were offended by this male.

Police have the right to handcuff anyone that is 'potentially' violent. If this male is showing signs of aggression, I would class that as potentially violent

I was shocked not at the man, not at how the staff or police handled the situation, but by the mums encouraging their children to laugh at and jeer at a clearly vulnerable and mentally unwell man while they took videos and photos of him. Yes watch with compassion and concern but to mock him? What sort of generation are we bringing up? My 7 year old was having swimming lessons at the time. And I was able to explain to her that he was unwell and did not understand unlike some other parents who thought it was funny.

Im certain they wouldn't have got the police involved if this man hadn't done anything wrong? As for the filming, yes it would not be allowed in the poolside area however i am certain anyone can see that the staff were occupied with dealing with this incident rather than trying to stop a recording that people know they shouldn't be doing anyway.

There is not enough respect for people doing the correct things in these situations, I mean if the staff allowed this man to continue then there would have been a story about a disruptive man who was allowed to stay in the pool.

I can ensure you that the staff are told to treat all customers the same. If they treat somebody different because of disabilities then this would be discrimination. And as for the youths i am sure they were dealt with in accordance to what they have done, most pools have a warning system for behavior like this.

Of course it was handled correctly - the problem is that the people who make these comments have no life experience when it comes to dealing with violent people. The Police acted according to the conditions at the time. For once just show respect for what they do and what they have to deal with. I wonder how you would deal with it Mr Woodley ??!!

I have had loads of experience as did security for many years.Dont make comments till you know the person you are attacking.

Just watching the report on ITV South and while obviously not sure about all the story, what amazes me is the police could send (reportedly according to Sherase) FOUR police cars. Yet when we want something done about for example the disgraceful anti-social riding of bikes through the Boscombe pedestrian precinct they're nowhere to be seen! I do have a lot of sympathy for the police but it certainly diminishes when it seems they're quite prepared to rush in numbers to a silly little incident like this. And what about the Jobsworths at the pool - couldn't they handle it themselves, or are they just too ready to ratchet it up into something excessive?

That will teach him trying to slip in on a student/OAP ticket, this is the only launguage these people understand. I hope he gets five years.
